TerraTrike is recalling about 450 Rambler E.V.O. adult recumbent tricycles because a faulty torque sensor can cause the electric motor to activate unexpectedly. This defect can make the trike power forward even when the rider is not pedaling, which has been reported five times. These yellow trikes feature an electric assist rear wheel and were sold nationwide at authorized dealers and online between August 2017 and October 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using these trikes and return them for a free repair involving a new sensor and software update.
The torque sensor in the wheel can activate without rider input, causing the tricycle to surge forward unexpectedly. This sudden movement poses a risk of crashes and serious injuries to the rider or others.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled trikes and return them to the place of purchase for a free speed sensor installation and a software upgrade.
